Sajid Javid will today meet with business leaders in a bid to discuss the challenges generated by last week's vote to leave the EU.

The business secretary will meet with representatives from groups including the Confederation of British Industry, the Institute of Directors, the British Bankers Association and the EEF, the manufacturers' association.

In what is hoped to be the first of a series of meetings, Javid is expected to argue that while Brexit will generate risks, there will also be opportunities for businesses.

And he will urge business leaders to share concerns they are hearing from their investors, exporters and employers.
